Michael Carrington , BACP

Michael Carrington is a fully qualified therapist registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and practices from the United Kingdom. As an integrative counsellor he draws on several therapeutic methods and combines them to fit each person's circumstances rather than following a single model. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can bring their thoughts and feelings and work toward clearer understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Michael works with a range of presenting concerns including anxiety, depression, bereavement, family conflict, and relationship difficulties. He is an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist and regularly supports people exploring questions about sexuality and gender, offering an informed and respectful approach to those conversations. By tailoring his methods to individual needs he aims to help people make practical changes and develop more helpful ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Michael Carrington

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem, offering empathic listening and acceptance so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions; it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and situations requiring emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties, and stress. Existential Therapy invites clients to examine life meaning, choices, and values, supporting people facing big transitions, grief, or questions about identity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Michael works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques in this way to tailor care.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Michael provides sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how and when people meet. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy around work and family life, and access support from home or another convenient location.
